"It was one of the moat impressive and wonderful wonder-ful things I have ever witnessed," ho said. "The rapture of the French people as the soldiers from across tho ocean appeared amongst them was positively thrilling. I can only liken the impression it made on me to my own sensations when I came ovor from Now York in the Baltic some months ago. As we approached the danger zone everybody on board felt high-pitched and apprehensive and then wo saw steaming towards us the splendid fleet of British destroyers I coming to protect us, and tho tension loosened and we felt safe. Well, do you know I think that was the offect that our American boys in khaki made on the people of France whon they came marching so gallantly through the streets. Thoy felt that a new force, a fino, fresh, influence, had come amongst them, and it heartened them." When servlco is given atod the response re-sponse discloses appreciation, the reward re-ward is ample. Tho French are heroic and an. intense feeling of satisfaction will come to the American people when they realize how deeply thankful thank-ful their allies are that the American nation has entered tho conflict on ihoir side. 1m. |
